Patents by Inventor Michelle E. Kimple

Michelle E. Kimple has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Protein purification and detection methods
    Patent number: 7309575
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for purifying and for detecting the presence of a protein. The invention employs a NorpA sequence and a PDZ1 domain. A protein tagged with a NorpA sequence can associate with PDZ1 domain. Similarly, a protein tagged with a PDZ1 domain can associate with a NorpA sequence. This interaction forms an aspect of the protein purification methods and protein detection methods of the present invention. Recombinant expression vectors and a protein purification solid phase are also disclosed, as well as protein detection and purification kits.
